Satellite images show that a fire likely broke out at the communications HQ of the US Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, after it was hit by Iran.

let’s fucking gooooooo!!!Lol nice emote, I totally forgot about that guy.
Still can’t believe someone was inherently based enough to just auto celebrate the fash getting ventilated
Who’s the guy in the emote?
he was in the front row in the audience at the Kirkening
Oh shit that’s awesome lmfao
Evergreen meme
But that’s a given.
It sure is.
News will say it was a technical failure and it just did that, lol
This US navy destroyer that was in involved in the incident off the Arabian Sea this week–
Yeah the one the front fell off.
yeah
Yeah that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
Well how was it untypical?
Well there’s a lot of these ships going around attacking Iran all the time and very seldom anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking our ships aren’t safe.
Was this destroyer safe?
Well I was thinking about the other ships.
The ones that are safe?
Yeah the ones where the front doesn’t fall off.
Well if this wasn’t safe, why is it being deployed in battle?
I’m not saying it wasn’t safe, it’s just perhaps not quite as safe as the other ships.
Why?
Well some of them are built so the front doesn’t fall off at all.
Wasn’t this built so the front wouldn’t fall off?
Well obviously not.
How do you know?
Well 'cause the front fell off and 20,000 tons of crude oil spilled into the sea caught fire. It’s a bit of a giveaway. I just like to make the point that it is not normal.
Well what sort of standards are these destroyers built to?
Oh various rigorous, military engineering standards.
What sort of thing?
Well the front’s not supposed to fall off for a start.
I hate how accurate this sounds
It’s a tweaked Clarke and Dawe bit.

WHY IS IT SEVERAL HUNDRED DEGREES?!
THEY WANT YOU THEY WANT YOU AS A NEW RECRUIT
THEY WANNA PUT IT IN YOUR POOP CHUTE.
QUICK STUFF A T-SHIRT DOWN THE POOP CHUTE
Apparently they got to film on the carrier because the admiral that gave them permission had no idea who they were. Simpler times I guess. Miss when you could just make up shit and noone could check
Can I do sciencetechnology?
Arleigh Burke-turned-Charlie Kirk. To think they’re scoring hits like this in the first days.
I think they’ve hit a couple of big beautiful boats so far.
My pet theory is that there seems to have been so little damage because these are still early stage probing attacks with cheap munitions to figure out how best to land a big warhead on them. I hope so anyway.
supposedly they’re targeting comms arrays, which is some real “if a man can’t see he can’t fight” karate kid 3 shit.
or maybe that’s just the easiest part to hit
love a strategy that you can say you’re doing ahead of time and they can’t do anything about it.
Wholesome!

FWIW, @MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net points out that the photo is too fuzzy to confirm: https://hexbear.net/post/7816549/6969083
Also I was able to find a higher resolution version, in which the supposed fire is a perfect circle. The source also lied about the type of satellite imagery used. Make of that what you want.
US government said it’s fake, which makes me more inclined to believe that it is real, but could be either way.
Be a lot cooler if they destroyed a US Navy attacker imo
good for them.
